Comfort
When I am photographing a subject, I don’t
immediately pull out my camera and start shooting away. I want my subject to
know that I’m not just a photographer. I want them to talk to me as a person
and become my friend, and that I happen to have a camera. In most cases (especially
shooting short sessions) you have to make a 5 minute friend. Let your subject
know you’re not just a photographer. There is nothing more I enjoy than to meet
new people. Your subject’s comfort is number one priority, everything after
that is cake! True feeling can be expressed when everyone is relaxed. The best
portraits I’ve captured are when my subjects and I are connected and
comfortable.
Here are a few examples.
